French artist Philippe Parreno sees the medium of exhibition as a living organism that can be set in motion by light, sounds and images. He controls his staged spaces with the help of algorithms that synchronise the behaviour of the objects contained in the room.

Departing from the Light and Space Movement of the late 1960s, via works by contemporary artists like Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster and Cyprien Gaillard to empathic journalism in a virtual reality, this exhibition spans a broad panorama, featuring a great variety of immersive practices which dissolve categories of viewer and work and diminish the distance between subject and object.

The programme Immersion was made possible by an initiative of the German Federal Parliament and thanks to the support of the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media.
